Yes, a R&B C5-Rody which did not last 3 liters for a worn out piston, 2 JP 2003 teamspec engines with maximum tuning and 7 liters of life and a R&B C5 not replacing the conrod after 7 liters... are examples of the last years where only one engine was my fault.
And you find that acceptable, for engines with those pricetags?.....
12 liters on an engine is acceptable to me, if the piston liner is worn to much to give maximum performance, but not if (like in your case) the piston shatters into pieces.....
Mind you that also Hans D had a conrod failure with his 35+, which then also damaged the liner....
